Three fires turned half of the imperial capital red, the sirens of the fire trucks did not stop after dark, John, who was already asleep, was awakened from his sleep by Mark, and the old man sat up a little irritably.

As you get older, you will sleep more, not because you want to sleep, but because your body's functions are declining rapidly, and you need to lower your metabolism to alleviate this declining process. Especially at night, the body will be in a very unhealthy state after being awakened, and irritability is just one of the manifestations.

John hadn't been woken up in the middle of the night since Mark returned to the family, and Mark had everything to do, and he could enjoy his old age in peace. Of course, he also understood that Mark was able to wake himself up despite his rest time, and something big must have happened.

He rubbed his eyes, turned on the lamp on the bedside table, put his reading glasses on the quilt, looked at Mark and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

John has experienced too many things in his life, his nerves have long been as tough as steel, his voice seems to soothe Mark's frightened heart, Mark swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Our three feature agencies were set on fire. ”

He didn't speak for a long time after saying this, and there was no other sound in the room, only his shallow breathing.

After another moment, Mark looked up and saw Mr. John staring at him with wide eyes, his bloodless face was already flushed, he was panting with his mouth open, his outstretched arm trembling, "You...... What did you just say?"

Feature Agency...... It's burned!"

The next second, if Mr. John had come to his senses, he would have said that at that moment he felt something suddenly break in his head, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.

Behind the winner of a lifetime of life is always a mountain of blood invisible to outsiders, John has been a winner for a lifetime, and he knows why he is a winner. People respect the George family, respect him, and even the top leaders of the two parties are his guests, not because of how great his personality and ability are, but because of the monopoly position of the George family in the newspaper industry. Now that his monopoly on the newspaper industry has been destroyed, one can imagine how terrible the sharp teeth of those politicians who usually respect him on the surface will show.

Mark rushed forward with a cry of surprise to support Mr. John, who was leaning slowly, and called out to the doctor, and the whole manor was in chaos in an instant.

Maggs, who was still thinking, was alarmed by the ringing of the phone, he had actually seen the fire in half of the sky, so he was waiting for the call. The call was made to him personally by the Director-General of Police Investigation, who reported three things to him.

"The three major feature agencies were set on fire at the same time, and judging from the current situation, there is no need to rescue the things inside, and they are all completely engulfed in the fire......

"Let me interrupt, are there any casualties?", Maggs was concerned about this.

If there were no casualties, for the citizens of the imperial capital and even the entire empire, it would only be a scar on someone else's body, but also a scar on the body of the big capitalists, and they would not only not be disgusted, but would gloat. However, if there are casualties, even serious casualties, it will cause a backlash from public opinion and public opinion. This is definitely not a good thing for the Cabinet, which has just finished the unification stage.

The former is just an accident, while the latter is an accident. While this responsibility also needs to be shouldered, it is of a completely different nature.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is what I want to say, there were no casualties in the three fires, and according to the information we gathered from the scene, the other side had given enough warnings before setting the fires and dispersed all the staff. Of course, there may be situations that we have not noticed, and we will have to wait until the fire is completely extinguished before we can draw a final conclusion. ”

Mr. Chief paused for about five seconds, and Maggs did not continue to ask, he continued: "The second thing I want to say is also related to this arson case, just now twenty-five young people went to the Imperial Capital Police Station to turn themselves in, claiming that they were the arsonists who caused these three arsons, and took the initiative to provide evidence. At present, they have been taken into custody, and based on what we know about their identity, they should be ......", Mr. Chief hesitated for a moment before whispering, "It may be Durin's man." ”

"Is that him?", Maggs's voice was marked with obvious surprise, and there were so many accidents that had happened during this time that he was a little numb. His nostrils dilated slightly, and a stream of air sprayed out of his nasal cavity, lifting an uncompacted piece of letter paper on the table, "I know about this matter, keep my mouth shut for the time being and don't leak it out, I'll talk to Durin." ”

Although Mr. Chief did not say how he found out that these people might be Durin's people, since he was able to say it, it means that he must have obtained some ironclad evidence, otherwise he would never have talked nonsense in front of him, the prime minister. There are some things that can be blamed, but there are some things that are absolutely not.

"The third thing, someone contacted me just now, Mr. John has fainted, and there is no sign of waking up until now, and he may stay in bed for a long time, and all the affairs of the George family are currently taken over by Mark. ”

Maggs hung up the phone after a few words, and he was a little puzzled as to why Durin had suddenly opened fire on his "collaborators" so much that Old John was unconscious. Maggs knew all about these capitalists, and if John Sr. did not make a clear will, it was very likely that the George family would be caught in infighting. Arthur's uneasy fellow and his aunts and uncles have long coveted John's shares, and maybe they will do it to John in order to "reasonably" divide the George family's estate.

As for Mark...... He has taken over the affairs of the family for a short time, and he has not lived in the family for a long time, and his prestige is definitely insufficient, and it is possible that the family will fall because of this.

What is Doolin trying to do?

Mags fell into deep thought, at this stage, Dürin's main opponent should be the Song Consortium led by the Capet family, why did he suddenly have such an insoluble contradiction with the George family, and he needed to take revenge through such drastic means?

Maggs has made many guesses and inferences, but none of them are logical, and how can he know that all of this comes from "intransigence".

The entire upper class of the imperial capital was shaken by these three fires, and countless people immediately left the social scene and returned to their homes, and the occupancy rate of telephone lines reached a peak in an instant. Countless intrigues are formed on the airwaves, and countless deals are made on both ends of the phone.

This is like a more advanced primeval evolutionary forest, only by constantly devouring can they grow themselves, when a creature grows to a certain extent, those ordinary species can no longer meet the requirements of their evolution, only the same giant, can let them get the opportunity to evolve again.

Obviously, a Big Mac may be about to fall.

And this is the signal that Durin wants to release, but he didn't expect that this signal flare did not shoot into the sky, but shot straight at Mr. John, and he could only blame his bad life, and used himself to ignite the sky and illuminate the way forward for others.

The tycoons in the imperial capital were already busy for the uncertain interests, and the phone on Durin's side rang, and the call was from Illian's side, Nasha's call.

Immediately after Mr. John's fall, Mark called Nasha and told her to return to the imperial capital as quickly as possible, as he might not be able to carry Arthur and the aunts and uncles alone in the period before Mr. John woke up. Although Nasha is only a girl, she represents the first person of the third generation of the family. Every family has rules that cannot be easily broken, and there are also in the George family.

As the first person of the third generation, Nasha has a sizable portion of the rights, so Mark needs her back.

Before returning, she made a phone call to Doolin, "My father said that he and you had a very unpleasant quarrel, and then you set fire to the family's most important property, didn't you?"

With a questioning tone in the chick's tone, Durin chuckled twice, "I don't deny the conflict with your father, but Lady Nasha, be careful with your words, slandering a mayor is punishable by jail time." ”

"So you really did it?", Nasha's voice could be heard through the long telephone line, "Why are you doing this, what is there that cannot be negotiated......?

Durin grasped the core of this sentence in an instant, and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. John?"

"He's so angry with you that he threw a lot of things!", Nasha had always regarded Doolin as her "good friend" before that, but the moment Doolin asked, she realized that the world was not what she imagined, and she and Doolin, the George family and the Doolin Group, were absolutely two lines of people. She immediately lied and picked up the previous words well. But can Durin hear it?

"You make me so sad and ugly, I misread you, Durin!"

The wiring in the handset was cut, and he put the handset back on the phone landline, pursed his lips and laughed.

I didn't expect that John would fall with such a simple blow, he was just releasing a signal, but he didn't expect to really knock down the sun of the George family, so there were many changes in this matter.

He had to help them, help Arthur.
